Rebel,

You are right and wrong. Slavery would have been abolished way before 1960 because slave labor is not free. You have to pay for clothing, feeding and medical care for a slave if you wish to get good labor out of him.

But the cotton gin (created by a black man f-ing sellout) and mechanization actually extended slavery longer, because those inventions made slavery a bit more affordable and they increased production.
